In the centenary of Sabino Arana´s death, his message goes on syntonizing with a great part of the Basque society. «Euskadi is the Basque people mother country». His youthfulness was not an impediment for him to be sent to exile; together with his family, because of his speech and his political boldness and; to prison for opinion offences. Unamuno himself recognised that " the mother country is discussed", but the Spanish authorities did not understand the discussion in the same way. He learnt the Basque language and with his work he surpassed the political options of the age to set some examples, which to a large extent are still in force nowadays. Sabino Arana died when he was 38 years old, leaving about half a hundred works and more than 600 journalistic articles behind him. Elías Amézaga has put a sweet melody to his self sacrificing life in this Sentimental biography.
